Still Standing Strong

Ep 12 - The Journey

After stepping away for a while, Still Standing Strong returns with a different perspective. In this episode, we talk about the pressure of chasing success, the reality of walking into a role that wasn’t what it seemed, and what happens when life forces you to slow down and reevaluate who you are outside of achievement, titles, and expectations. The episode also explores a powerful story about tragedy, perspective, and hidden purpose — leading to one important question:“What is your rock?” Sometimes the hardest moments in our lives are also the moments that reveal what was happening beneath the surface all along. This episode marks the beginning of a new direction for the podcast: less polished, more honest, and more focused on real conversations about growth, struggle, resilience, purpose, and becoming stronger through life’s unexpected turns.

Ep 11 - The Fraction of Your Reaction

WELCOME TO A NEW SEASON Sometimes the only thing we can control is how we respond, and even that is a fraction of the event that happened. This episode dives into the power of reacting less — giving only a fraction of your reaction to moments that don’t go your way. From a missed flight that turned into a beautiful memory, to staying grounded through a job loss, it’s a reminder that calm often changes the outcome more than control ever could. Inspired by The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins — and a new twist called The Let It Theory — this week explores how mindset, patience, and perspective shape every situation we face

Ep 10 - The Myth of More

We work harder, chase promotions, buy houses, collect milestones — all in search of “enough.” But what if more never feels like more? In this episode suggested by a listener, I share stories and reflections about striving, achievement, and the quiet emptiness that can follow. Let’s talk about why “enough” is rarely out there… and how to start finding it here.

Special Episode - Remembering Love and Appreciation

Sometimes the most important thing you can do is pause and appreciate the people and moments right in front of you. In this emergency episode, I share why appreciation can’t wait — and why it might be the antidote to so much of what weighs us down. If you’ve been running on empty, take ten minutes with me to remember what matters most. Remembering those who lost their lives on 9/11, and ensuring we don't take the life we have for granted. Love one another

Ep 9 - The Rhombus of Life and Vulnerability (ft. Alisha & a cat's meow)

Not everyone gets the same depth of trust and vulnerability with you — and that’s okay! In this episode, I talk about why life and vulnerability don’t fit into a clean “circle of trust,” but more like a rhombus — messy, uneven, but totally human. Some people get the closest part of you, others are kept further away, but together they shape the relationships that matter.  Featuring Alisha (and a few meows from a cat)
